Last Tuesday night Mr. james Jack gave a
social party in honor of Mrs. VIM. Murray,
who left for Glasgow, Scotland, the follow
ing day. Although the party was small, a
very enjoyable night was spent.
Mr.. James Murray gave party last Sat-
urday night and / believe they had nice
time. If the songs were not we'll sung the
singers must be excused; they did the best
they could.
The Syenite Granite Company are remod-
cling the old warehouse and intend using it
as an office.
We had quite an excitement in our town
on Saturday. Some of our boys were
wanting a shave, but could not get into the
barber shop. After waiting until about noon
they concluded that something twas wrong
So word was sent to the justice of the peace,
who came at once, when he and some more
began to pound at The doors and widows,
but without any response. After lot of
hammering one of the windows was opened
and the lifeless form of the barber (Jacob
Baumann) was seen hanging from hook.
One of the men went in through the window
and unlocked the door, admitting the rest,
mann had worked until about ten O'Clock on
the previous evening and appeared to be in
good spirits, and 1t seems as though he had
taken sudden notion of undressing, as he
had on nothing but his underclothes. He
used small piece of marlin rope, and must
have been very determined, as he could have
saved himself at any time. One knee was
resting on his trunk lover which was spread
a comforter) and by raising himself on his
knee he could have taken the strain off his
neck at anytime. The news of the tragic
event travelled fast and crowds of people
rushed to the scene. About 3 P. NJ. the cor
oner, Judge Dingcr, arrived, and the jury
was impaneled and from the evidence re-
turned verdict of suicide. Mr.. Baumann's
son arrived from st. Louis Sunday and took
charge of the funeral, which occurred Mon
day.
BoEN-To Mr.. and Mrs. Scott Bateman on
last Tuesday, daughter. 1t is no new oc-
currence to Scott, but from his smiling face
we think he is happy.
We had divine service here on Sun6ay-B.
F. Thomas, of Ironton, officiating. He
preached very instructive sermon, taking
for his text, Eye must be born again."
Mr. William O'Brien has just returned
from trip TO st. Louis.

DIES ARC, Mo. January sd, 1887.
Ed. Register-I wish to correct some mis-
takes in the minds of many who read tn
REGISTER, caused by the two corr espond-
ents from this place, viz: '.Blue Stone" and
'Zinnia." 1t was all right that "Zinnia"
should reply to "Blue Stone" I felt like
doing so myself, but EMMA" III her reply
of January Goth, instead of replying to "Blue
Stone" from personal standpoint, pitched
into the Baptists and nom Methodists. as she
calls them, and would have the readers of
your paper think that they are very disa-
greeable sort of people. No one regretted
the piece signed "Blue Stone" more than
did, but "Blue Stone" is not a Baptist, or
even inclined that way; understand he was
raised Methodist, though not a member OF
any church. ''Zinnia," no doubt, was honest
in thinking him Baptist. But stand re-
sponsible for what write and can say of a
truth that no Baptist here would be guilty
of explaining their little differences to the
public. Now, as to the new church they
speak of, will tell you something about it:
1t is nice roomy church and belongs to the
NJ. Z. Church, south. 1t is quite an orna-
ment TO our little town and credit to the
community in which it is built. The preach
er in charge of it this year is quite nice,
Christian gentleman, and has very cordially
invited the Union Sunday School to the new
church. We accepted the invitation with
many thanks and are using it every Sunday
morning at ten O'Clock. He also, in a very
OH istian- like manner, invited the Baptist
preacher to fill the pulpit when he comes,
which is the first Sunday in every month.
So you see we are all working together down
here in trying to raise the cause of Christi
anity, and will not let our church rules or
peculiar church laws unchristianiZe any One
The Baptists are not the class of grumblers
and soreheads your readers might think.
Now, Mr.. Editor, l have no objection to
"Blue Stone" and "Zinna" having their fun
or their newspaper quarrel, or to them both
becoming famous in the literature of the day,
or calling each other what they please, but
want you all to understand that the Baptists
have nothing to do with the racket that is
going on down here, but that they are known
as liberal minded, open hearted, respecta-
bic class of citizens. Yours truly,
DAVID GARRISON.

Notes From the Public School.

Clean your feet!
Bat not in the ball or on the stairs.
Day school or night church-which? one
or the other.
The primary teacher was sick several days
last week.
Mrs. Markham occupied the teachers desk
in the primary room a part of last week.
The pupils of "B" class in U. S. History
are doing work worthy of imitation by older
members of the school.
The school-yard is doubtless the muddiest
place in town, excepting, perhaps, the vacant
lot just west of the premises.

All! sad, sad, case! The quiet and I'm =

ton that two Of our most popular carpenters
seriously contemplated suicide by hanging.
They have a certain hour each day that they

in Ironton last week, that we have scarcely
had time to heed our earthly neighbors; but
we will try aud not get so revived that we
will have to bring the church organ into the

is only one Protestant denomination Meth

We haven't but one old bachelor in Area
dia and am sure he did not sign the pledge
as there is no need of it. He is a sober and
industrious man. 1t Is Mr.. Dixon 1 have
reference to. He is the only man in Arcadia
that has any business about him-I will eX-
cept the railroad men they are all good IN
dustrious .itizens and the only men that
bring any money to the town, and our mer-
chants to send it off. This is Just the dead
est town you ever saw. Its beginning to smell
bad. l guess we will get Brother Headlee
TO preach its funeral sermon next Sunday.
As he don't come very often anyway, he can
come once more and quit. There is IA class
of people in Arcadia who don't care for any
body but themselves. They own property
and won't sell it for fear someone else would
make dollar out of it, and yet they won't
improve it themselves. Won't even make
passable side walks or move their fences and
barns. The best property is standing idle a
disgrace to the town. If the railroad COM
pany had it they would improve it, and
build us new depot. Everybody in Area
dia wants the company to have it. Suppose
the company should take off the Accommo-
dation as hear they are talking of. What
then, brethren? You could hold it until
dooms- day or until Arcadia became the
paradise, as you ought to know the name
implies.
Well, Mr.. Editor, will bid you farewell,
for am going to the wilderness to pitch my
tent ana live in quiet the rest of my days,
so will bid you beware of old maids, and
not let them light in on you.
Yours as ever, UNCLE PETE.
